In some cases, duplicates are identical or nearly identical copies of the same WorldCat bib. Many IZs and the NZ contain duplicate bibliographic records. While there are several reasons why a bib may be present without inventory, we expect that a fair number of these records are artifacts from Voyager, in particular bibs used on purchase orders where the inventory has been moved or removed since the initial order.ģ. Many IZs and the NZ contain bibliographic records that have no inventory. Finally, we’ll work to centralize CARLI-brokered collections as much as possible.Ģ.We will start with non-EBSCO resources first, then the EBSCO resources. Next, we expect to move on to electronic resources that CARLI has purchased for all members.As freely-available resources, these resources do not require patron authentication nor acquisition transactions, and do not need to be in the IZ.

Our first priority will focus on Open Access and Free E-Collections that are shared from the NZ.

This carryover of practices from Voyager isn't unusual, but it is the largest source of duplicate titles across the consortium. Most I-Share libraries have activated electronic resources in their IZs that are identical to collections that already are or may be provided centrally by CARLI via the NZ. We are currently over our allowance, but we know many duplicates were introduced as the result of our migration to Alma from multiple sources, including Voyager, SFX, and other e-resource systems like 360.Įx Libris and CARLI have identified three areas where we have an excess of records that we can reduce by performing record clean-up:ġ.

CARLI’s Alma subscription currently allows us to have over 46 million titles across the entire consortium, i.e., 89 Institution Zones (IZ) plus the Network Zone (NZ). I-Share libraries need to reduce our total number of Bibliographic Titles.

CARLI staff are also currently working on documentation for I-Share libraries on how to clean up duplicate records in their own IZs. Using a shared consortial bibliographic record whenever appropriate, helps keep our title count from becoming inflated and improves discovery and resource sharing of materials held by multiple I-Share institutions.ĬARLI continues to contract with the Illinois Heartland Library System's Catalog Maintenance Center to employ catalogers to assist the CARLI Office staff and I-Share member library staff in identifying duplicate titles and consolidating these records where appropriate. This clarified understanding puts the CARLI consortium well within our current Alma contractual number of bibliographic titles, but it provides further incentive for our consortial efforts to reduce record duplication in Alma. As described in the Maannouncement, CARLI and Ex Libris have reached an understanding about how bibliographic titles will be counted in I-Share that takes advantage of bibliographic title record sharing through our consortial Alma Network Zone and e-resource record sharing via the customer-wide Alma Community Zone.
